Ledger Co-Founder Rescued After 2-Day Kidnapping Ordeal🎉 David Balland, co-founder of Ledger, was released yesterday after being kidnapped from his home in Vierzon, France. According to Reuter’s report, the kidnappers were “extremely well organized” and asked for a large ransom in cryptocurrency, but authorities have not confirmed yet if the money was paid. Balland was kidnapped on Tuesday morning and was kept captive for approximately 24 hours. He was released last night after a rescue mission conducted by an elite French police unit, assisted by cybercrime and organized crime divisions of the Paris prosecutor. Balland is currently receiving medical treatment for injuries sustained during his kidnapping. Details about his condition have not been disclosed. The Paris prosecutor’s office is currently investigating the situation in order to identify and arrest the abductors. Ledger has not said anything about the event yet. Meanwhile, violent crime in the crypto space is becoming frequent. Ransomware hackers received more than $1.1 billion in cryptocurrency payments in 2023, according to Chainalysis. In recent years, there have been a number of high-profile kidnappings and robberies of cryptocurrency holders in locations such as Hong Kong and the United States. The rumours of Balland’s kidnapping had been spreading on social media before it was confirmed he was released. Initially, people thought it was co-founder ERIC Larch that was kidnapped. Jameson Lopp, a co-founder of self-custody service Casa, posted on X that, “We have no good intel on what has occurred, but Ledger’s silence unnerves me.” French authorities are still investigating, but no arrests have been made so far. #Ledger #CryptoNewss s #CyberSecurity #blockchain. #CryptoSafety

🚨🚨🚨 This week, it was revealed that a hacker named Miembro gained access to the data request portal of the Binance cryptocurrency exchange and sold this access for 10 thousand dollars. This portal was created for law enforcement and government officials and contained sensitive information of Binance users. According to the hacker, the stolen information includes users' e-mail addresses, phone numbers, wallet addresses and exchange IDs. However, as of now, there is no clear information about whether this data is sold or how much of it is sold. Exact information on how access to Binance's data portal is provided is not yet available. Security researchers claim that Binance gave law enforcement access to Kodex Global, and the hacker took control of the portal by infecting computers in Taiwan, Uganda and the Philippines with malware. Cyber ​​security experts who contacted Binance have not yet received any official statement from the exchange. Although the stolen data does not allow direct manipulation of Binance accounts, users' private information is at risk and this may expose them to various cyber threats. After the incident, Hudson Rock security team warned all Binance users to activate two-factor authentication (2FA) and update their passwords. A similar situation previously occurred when customer data of hardware wallet provider Ledger was stolen, and users received threats from hackers. #binance #hack #ledger

Introduction to Blockchain Technology #Blockchain is a decentralized, digital #ledger used to record transactions across multiple computers. It ensures transparency, security, and immutability. Each "block" contains a record of transactions, and once added, it cannot be altered. Blockchain is the backbone of cryptocurrencies like $BTC and $ETH . It removes the need for intermediaries, like banks, enabling peer-to-peer transactions. The technology also powers decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts, which can automatically execute transactions once conditions are met, further expanding blockchain’s potential in various industries beyond finance.

5 Types of Best Cold Storage WalletsA cryptocurrency wallet type called a “cold storage wallet” is made to keep private keys offline, adding an extra degree of protection against viruses, hacking, and other security risks. To access and control cryptocurrency holdings, one needs private keys. Cold wallets increase the difficulty of hostile actors accessing your digital assets by holding them offline. In this article, we will discuss the various types of cold storage wallets, along with their respective pros and cons. 1. Ledger Nano X- Many people choose the Ledger Nano X cold hardware wallet for storing different cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other altcoins. It comes after the Nano S as the newest model in the Nano line. A security-certified chip and a unique operating system on the Ledger Nano X provide enhanced security by preventing hackers and other potential risks from accessing your private keys. To protect your account, it uses a PIN code and a recovery phrase. With Nano X, you can manage your cryptocurrency holdings from any internet-enabled location by connecting it to your computer or mobile device via Bluetooth or a USB cord. The Nano X has a small display screen as well, which facilitates transaction confirmation and device navigation. Additionally, Nano X makes it simple to store, send, and receive various cryptocurrencies by enabling the use of many cryptocurrency applications. It uses a 24-word recovery seed phrase that in the event that the device is misplaced, stolen, or breaks, will enable you to get your money back. All things considered, the Ledger Nano X cold storage wallet is one of the greatest hardware wallet choices available because of its strong security, adaptable use, and easy-to-use design. 2. Keepkey- Another excellent option for a cold storage wallet is KeepKey. Unlike Ledger, which offers a variety of shiny models, KeepKey only offers one cold wallet device, but this one-dimensional approach to the product is quickly justified when you take into account that KeepKey is an all-in-one package with support for nearly all popular cryptocurrencies worldwide and its own standalone application. To ensure your security, it has PIN protection and a 12-, 18-, or 24-word recovery phrase, depending on your preference. Additionally, it is the most transaction-friendly cold wallet available. Its programs let you conduct transactions, and its special interface lets you plan transactions ahead of time. KeepKey is the best option if you want to purchase a single cold storage wallet that takes care of everything. 3. Coldcard- The goal of the Bitcoin hardware wallet ColdCard is to offer the best security possible for storing Bitcoin and Bitcoin alone. For those who are ardent supporters of Bitcoin and would rather hang onto their coins for extended periods of time, ColdCard is the ideal choice. With the newest ColdCard cold storage wallet, the ColdCard mark4, you can start storing your Bitcoin safely without ever using a computer. It makes use of the Bitcoin blockchain’s inherent PSBT (BIP174) algorithm. It features an internal tamper-proof mechanism that erases the device’s memory if it detects an attempt to hack into it, along with a PIN code system. Because ColdCard can better meet Bitcoin’s unique criteria, its concentration on the cryptocurrency allows it to offer a high degree of security. 4. Bitbox02- BitBox02, another cold storage wallet made and maintained by Shift, focuses only on how small it is and how well it works with the USB-C connector that it comes with. But this does not imply that the wallet’s other features are at risk. For instance, Shift has made the source code of their BitBox02 wallet publicly available as proof of their capacity to maintain security. Nobody has been able to complete this challenge to date, despite numerous attempts to crack it. 5. Trezor Model T- A refined take on the original Trezor One wallet, the Trezor Model T is designed to be as intuitive as possible. With its color touchscreen display of 240 by 240 pixels, the Model T’s menus and settings are simple to use. The Model T is compatible with a variety of devices, including desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and mobile devices that connect to it by USB or Bluetooth. More than 1,000 cryptocurrencies are supported by the Trezor Model T, including various altcoins and ERC-20 tokens in addition to all of the major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple. Even for those who are unfamiliar with hardware wallets, the Model T boasts an intuitive user interface. If you have never used cold storage before, the Trezor Model T is an excellent place to start. #Ledger #Keepkey #Bitbox #Trezor #Coldwallet
